Actually, computer literate or not, you don't need to be to build a simple web site.

I built my own, it is simple in extreme.

I have looked at many so called "professionally designed" websites and frankly, in many cases it must have been easy money, they don't look much different from the TEMPLATES one can buy and build for pennies.

Of course the industry doesn't like you to know this, they like to propagate the illusion that web design is somehow something highly technical, complex and mystical, much like the rubbish around wine tasting etc.

So, with a little bit [and I mean little] of knowledge you can design your own from scratch with notepad or using "Coffee Cup" software if you need guidance, or, if you are into a sort of "paint by numbers" give the templates a try... have a look at free options at web: opendesigns.org

However, as for your line of biz, it is a hungry market, filled with a lot of dubious offers so you might have tough fight on your hands.

The only reason I mention that is, you might like to rethink the "simple page" idea and actually find and spend money with someone who is actually skilled and talented and can give you something that interacts with potential customers, give them a reason to stay and ultimately use your service otherwise you might find your site is a miniscule voice in a huge galaxy of stars..

Sorry, I am guesing you are selling language courses but you don't have anything in your bio page to give me much to go on.

look, heres an honest advice, I had used services like odesk and freelancer in the past, and eventually I ended up not using what I got and paying for it, but I didnt use it coz it was always not exactly the way i wanted it and i changed my mind and couldnt call up the freelancer after the job was done, since that happened i decided to go my own way and use platforms i found online.

platforms like volusion, bigcommerce, magento, izzonet, ubercart, 3dcart .. theres actually a ton of these, they are really the all-in-one solution, you can design you site yourself and quickly start selling.

I have had great success using odesk and elance...It really boils down to your own understanding of the project itself. My wife is a web designer by trade and I do SEO, so when we outsource our projects, we know exactly how to communicate what we want, and we know how to weed out the fakers. The platforms you mentioned are nice solutions, however she would still need someone to implement the design. If you don't know HTML, CSS etc, those solutions aren't going to solve the problem.

Search for answers

Ask the community

Most of the time, you just want to find content that has a particular phrase. Here are the easiest ways to find the content you want.

Enclose your search phrase in quotes. Search will try to find content with those words in the order you enclosed them. A search for "marketing advice" is going to return content with the phrase "marketing advice".

Search for content that has certain words, but not necessarily all of the words in order. This is the most basic search. Simply enter your search terms. For example: accept credit cards This will search for documents containing the words accept, credit, and cards

Using OR. The OR operator links two terms and finds a matching document if either of the terms exist in a document. To search for documents that contain either "web design" or just "online marketing" use the query: "web design" OR "online marketing"

Using AND. The AND operator says that the search should return content in which all of the search terms are present. To search for documents that contain both "web design" and just "online marketing" use a search like this: "web design" AND "online marketing"
